The Lorenzo Society will be hosting a book launch for R.M. Vaughan’s Pervatory. Vaughan was a UNBSJ English grad, prolific writer, artist, and arts critic from Saint John; he passed away in the Fall of 2020 and is greatly missed. The launch will take place at the BMO Studio Theatre at 112 Princess Street and will feature a panel reading from Vaughan’s final novel as well as a discussion of his work. A reception will follow. Copies of the novel will be available for purchase.

I have just returned from a brief multi-faith prayer/meditation/solidarity circle held in the lobby of the Hans Klohn Commons today at 11:30am. There were members of faculty both current and retired, members of staff, and several visitors, notably representatives of the Sisters of Charity. These past weeks have seen much division on Canadian university campuses so this brief shared moment was particularly welcome.

The Altar in the Hans Klohn Commons lobby, marking the end of the week of Dia de los Mu***os events in Saint John. The Altar was organized with the help of Dr Hepzibah Muñoz Martinez (Hist&Pol) and Prof. Perla Hernández (Hum&Lang).

Come to HKC tomorrow at 11:30 am for an open reception to close out two weeks of events marking the Dia de los Mu***os. See the beautiful Altar in the Commons foyer and drink some delicious hot chocolate with organizers Dr Hepzibah Muñoz Martinez (Hist&Pol) and Prof. Perla Hernández (Hum&Lang).

Happy Halloween to all our students, staff, and colleagues.
